This town was formerly named Keystone. The post office/town was renamed on April 10, 1889. Waynoka is a Cheyenne word meaning "sweet water."
Waynoka has a rich history, and the citizens of this town are actively restoring the town's historic buildings. Be sure you make a stop at the restored Santa Fe Depot at the west end of Waynoka Street. This is the location of the Historical Society, the restored Harvey House restaurant, and the Air-Rail Museum. Information and photos can be seen at www.waynoka.org
South of Waynoka is the Little Sahara State Park, 1600 acres of rideable sand dunes ranging from 25 ft. to 75 ft high. There are RV and tent camping sites and picnic areas. Bring you own dune buggy or ATV, or rent one at Stewart's Buggy Shop in Waynoka.
Waynoka is definitely a place to visit and enjoy.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
